Day 44....started out Insane.

Well, since John is off to Portland for a couple of days and we felt that it would be wise to work out before he left, our alarm went off at 4am this morning. Working out at 4am is Insane. I am not sure why we thought it would be a good idea to work out that early. It did take me a bit to wake up, but once we were done I was SO glad we got through it. I love the feeling of being done working out for the day when it is so early. I have the whole day ahead of me and I don't have to worry about finding the time or energy to work out.

Although we are done, I am still feeling a bit fatigued from this particular workout. Today we did Max Interval Circuit. This is the 3rd time we have done this now, but it is still impossible for me to get through. It felt like there was a LOT of jumping today! And, not just little hops, but big jumps. It is hard to jump that high or that fast when your body just wants to sit and watch for awhile! John is a great motivator for me though. I know he will tease me if I take too many breaks so I have to push myself and not give him anything to make fun of me for. :o)

The jumps in this workout are tough, but there are also a lot of upper body moves that are just about impossible for me. I am not able to keep up with their push ups half of the time. And, even though I enjoy most of the exercises that start with a plank, my shoulders can only hold me up for so long before feeling like I am going to collapse.

I do like this particular workout, but it is probably the one that makes me feel like I am the most out of shape still. After some workouts I feel strong and I feel like I am getting back in shape, but during and after this workout, I am constantly reminded of how far I still have to go.

So, I am going to enjoy the rest of today (even though I have an extra kid home sick with me today) and I am going to hope that by the time we work out tomorrow my whole family is healthy and back on track for a great week!

Day 45....hoping it is great!
